' SOAP-DISH.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, DAVID BIKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New'Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soa -Dishes, of which the followin is a .speci cation.

This invention re ates to improvements in soa holders associated with faucets in sin wash bowls, bath tubs, and the like, and has for one of its objects to provide a simply constructed device which may be; at-

tached without structural change to variinvention ous forms of faucets and like devices in con= venient position for use and without in ury to the faucet or other parts.

With these and other objects in view, the

invention consists in certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claim; and in .the drawings illustrative of the preferred embodiment of the Figure 1 is a side view of the improved device applied to an'ordinary bath tub hot and cold water faucet;

Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view of the attachment illustrated in Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a detached perspectlve view of the clamp member;

Fig. 4 is a side view of a modified form of-the improved attachment applied to an ordinary wash basin faucet;

Fig. 5 is a detached perspective view of the modified form of the attachment illustrated in Fig. 4. Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following descriptionan'd indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

The improved device com rises a bowl or receiver for the soap whic may be constructed of any ,suitable material and of any suitable form, but for the purpose of illustration is shown in Figs. 1 and 2 formed of strips of sheet metal, and in Figs. 4 and 5 shown constructed entirely of wire in basket-like form. When constructed of strips of metal, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a rim member 10 will be employed and having a plurality of supporting bars 11 riveted thereto at the ends, and when con- Specification 0! Letters latent.

of connectin bars 13, the termina s of the" various mem ers being united by soldering, brazing, electric weldin or the like.

Risin from the has et or bowl portion of the evice is a projection 14 provided with a plurality of apertures 15 when the form of basket shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is shown, and with a projection constructed from a plurality of wires 16 spaced apart and roviding a plurality of vertical] recte slots or spaces 17, as shown in igs. 4 and 5., The member 14 with its apertures 15 perform the same function as the bar 16 including the'spaces 17, as hereafter explained.

The projection 14 or 16, as the case may be, is designed to bear against one side of a faucet, represented conventionally at 18,

, and bearing around the body or barrel orenlarged threaded terminals 20, the whole I constituting a yoke device adapted to bear around the barrel ortion of the faucet with the threaded term1nals'20 extending through one pair of the apertures 15 when the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2 is employed, or through one pair of the spaces 17 when the device is' constructed as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. Clamp nuts 21 are then ap lied to the threaded portions 20 to complete the coupling of the device to the faucet. By providing a plurality of the apertures 15 and the recesses 17 it will be obvious that the device may be readily adapted without structural change to faucet barrels of variousforms and sizes, and likewise to su porting structures other than faucets if found desirable.

The parts of the improved device may be constructed of any suitable metal and plated, galvanized, or otherwise ornamented or protected, and will be found a very useful adjunct to wash rooms, bath rooms, kitchens and other localities where water is drawn from faucets.

Havin thus described the invention, what,

I 5 tremity,, a olding device includingterm1 support and provided with a plurality of a fixed support and extend through a pair vertically directed openings spaced apart of openings in the extension, andfastening and extending in parallel relatlon, each of devices engaging said terminals and bear- 'said, openin s being bridged'at its upper exin against the extension.- v 10 testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

nals in spaced relation and adapted to span DAVID RIKER. [1,. 5.]
